You always go away and do the things you wanna do
I think you`re tryin` to hurt me all you can
You`ll be working on that problem for a long long time
You`ll find that I`m a very patient man
There are times I think you want me just to say goodbye
With you I think it`s some kind of a plan
To see how long it takes me to let my patience go
But you`ll find that I`m a very patient man
I can see that you can`t see how much that I love you
You know that I`ll keep hangin` in till all your love is through
So go ahead and do the things that satisfy your mind
But I`ll tell you exactly where you stand
Your passing friends will use you up then they won`t have the time
Then you`ll find that I`m a very patient man
You`re gonna find that I`m a very patient man
